摘要
We present a method of performing high spatial and time-resolution, non-intrusive and dynamic current measurements along the length of a single flow channel in a solid polymer fuel cell. Current profiles at different cell polarisations and reactant flow rates are examined along with the dynamic response of the fuel cell upon introduction of reactant gases.
